Here's what they said:
Anu MalikIt's indeed a very sad moment for the entire music industry. 53 is not an age for him to pass away. KK was a total family man and a great human being. I am at a complete loss of words. I really don't know what to say about KK's sudden death. All that I can say is that it's a huge loss for the entire music fraternity
Rahul VaidyaI had met KK quite a few times for concerts. He always came across as a loving, kind and affectionate person. He always had a smile on his face. Jab bhi hum miley, KK bahut pyaar se miley (whenever we met, KK met me with lots of love)
Abhijit SawantThe memories of meeting KK are still fresh in my mind. We shared a close relation musically. When I met him for the first time, he sang 'Yaaron'. The song and his voice still lingers in my heart. KK was a very sporting person who never showed any attitude of being a 'star'. He had an aura of an extremely down to earth and a simple human being
Aroon BakshiI am still in a state of shock and disbelief over the sudden death of KK. His death has left me speechless. Only a couple of days back, the music industry lost Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu (Sidhu Moose Wala). And now KK. The music industry has lost two gems.
Altaf RajaKK was a great singer and an extremely down to earth human being. Although I never got a chance to perform with him, I have high regards for KK as a human being. I have never seen anyone so humble like KK.

Anu Malik It's indeed a very sad moment for the entire music industry. 53 is not an age for him to pass away. KK was a total family man and a great human being. I am at a complete loss of words. I really don't know what to say about KK's sudden death. All that I can say is that it's a huge loss for the entire music fraternity
Rahul Vaidya I had met KK quite a few times for concerts. He always came across as a loving, kind and affectionate person. He always had a smile on his face. Jab bhi hum miley, KK bahut pyaar se miley (whenever we met, KK met me with lots of love)

Abhijit Sawant The memories of meeting KK are still fresh in my mind. We shared a close relation musically. When I met him for the first time, he sang 'Yaaron'. The song and his voice still lingers in my heart. KK was a very sporting person who never showed any attitude of being a 'star'. He had an aura of an extremely down to earth and a simple human being
Aroon Bakshi I am still in a state of shock and disbelief over the sudden death of KK. His death has left me speechless. Only a couple of days back, the music industry lost Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu (Sidhu Moose Wala). And now KK. The music industry has lost two gems.
Altaf Raja KK was a great singer and an extremely down to earth human being. Although I never got a chance to perform with him, I have high regards for KK as a human being. I have never seen anyone so humble like KK.

The entire music fraternity is in a state of shock after the untimely demise of the singer KK. Social media has been flooded with heartfelt messages for the singer, who passed away in Kolkata after performing in a college fest. Celebs and fans expressed their deepest and heartfelt condolences to the singer.
Speaking exclusively to Editorji, Karan Oberoi said, "What a talent! What a voice! And more importantly, what a human being. Simple, affable, no attitude and a family man. He was not interested in anything other than his art and loved ones. I remember meeting him for the first time during a reality show. He was such a sweet man that he couldn't say a bad word about any contestant. In fact, he was one of the only judges who went on record to say that the contestants were better than him, so he was in no position to judge them."
The singer's family has now reached Kolkata. As per reports, the postmortem for KK's body will be conducted at Kolkata's SSKM hospital.
